first let's go to eric edwards at nbc. -- erica edwards at nbc. >> i want to go back to the number of kids who have been vaccinated. where does this number come from? what is the source and is the cdc confirming those numbers? >> thank you for that question. the program for kids five to 11 is a new program with new sites and specialized business being shipped out to those sites. many of the places that adults go to get vaccinated are not places for kids ages five to 11 so we are bringing on the 20,000 sites we talked about including children's hospital, family doctors. so many of these are new locations and therefore it takes time for them to come online, to begin to give doses to kids and also to begin to report. to estimate how any five to 11-year-olds received a first shot, we collected data directly from vaccine partners include the pharmacies and state and local and health officials. we ran an analysis of those numbers, including numbers that states are beginning to share publicly. so some states have them on their website public information. paste on the gathering of all these d

host: the statistics that you are citing about the death rate, this is from nbc news. covid deaths among children are rare. young children make up less than 1% of all covid deaths. ages 11 and under in orange and 12 and up in black. not sure, good morning. tell us why. caller: good morning. i am definitely worried about exposing my children to experimental drugs. the only way that i can feel halfway comfortable is if we have a second nuremberg trial for medical experimentation and we trial these people. these are human rights violations. we trial the nuremberg trial for medical experimentation for exposing the general public to an experimental drug. we need to put them on trial and if anyone is found guilty for violating the nuremberg code for medical experimentation they need to be taken immediately. they need to be tried for treason and the sentence needs to be carried out immediately. host: you are not vaccinated? caller: i exercise my hepa rights. the only time i discuss medical practices is with me and my private doctor. do you have kids? caller: hippa is h-i-p-p-

nbc news's -- quick supporting u.s. leadership for democracy after a talk -- >> supporting u.s. leadership for democracy.

just last week and nbc had a pool that talked about the biggest concerns that americans had. so i think when you look at the governor elect, he was one to be listened. he didn't bring politicians and, he listened to those in virginia. didn't matter if you're a republican or democrat. he took parents advice. in his closing night he talked about reforming the party of who you are you're going to answer the phone and ask how you can help. and parents should have a say on children's education. they should be able to know what the curriculum as. one thing that we have found time and again is that the democrats believe that not to be true. i expected maybe they had a change of heart. the doubling down and they did all the things of the election last night told him not to. when you think about it, a republican governor was elected after 13 consecutive statewide election losses. just a year ago joe biden won by more than 10 points and as you heard the new republican lieutenant governor and in new jersey the democrats are underperforming even more. and of more than 15 points. and it's

nbc news's -- quick supporting u.s. leadership for democracy after a talk -- >> supporting u.s. leadership for democracy. this was after a tough year. the taliban has overrun an elected government in afghanistan and corruption is making it harder to hold save and fair elections. we will look at the role that u.s. leadership can play in democracy and human rights to counter authoritarianism in latin america and africa, southeast asia. i like -- i would like to welcome our panel. joining us is wendy sherman. dan sullivan and chris coons from delaware are also here. the world is facing the decline of human rights. this has to be a top priority. the administration is pressing forward. first, let's zune out -- zoom out. what is the administration doing to make this a priority? physically in this humanitarian crisis in if you pick, afghanistan and now, belarus. >> thank you, andrea. great to be with senators coons and sullivan. we are no longer afraid to say this is important to the future of our humanity and our world. we were trying to say that people have a right to clean water and

next to him, elise jordan, you probably recognize from her role as a political analyst on nbc and msnbc. and a contributor for time. and also used to work in the bush administration, had a lot of insight on republican strategy. and that former rnc chairman and former lieutenant governor of maryland who might be back in the politics sometime? and long time republican communication strategist in the white house and congress. let's start first with a little bit from your perspective. we spoke a lot with the earlier panel about virginia and new jersey, i would want to get your thoughts first of all on what happened. did we see a playbook of how republicans are going to run in the future? or was this specifically tailored to this moment in time and this kind of governors race. mr. chairman, let me start with you. >> it is great to be back here with the nyu family. i looked at this race for a while now. and certainly, knowing terry personally, i did not know glenn youngkin, but understood his background. he was tailor-made for that race. on a number of levels. and he very early came out and d

. >> first question for kristen welker at nbc. >> thank you for doing the call, i appreciate it. two questions. one, can you bring us up-to-date on any data you might have about breakthrough cases with kids, and number two, can you weigh in on or reflect upon the fact that you have some areas that are lifting max -- mask mandates and others reinforcing them, for example washington, d.c. lifted the mass committed indoors whereas you have other areas in the region that are set to reimpose them. what should we make of that and should there be a uniformity as it relates to masks. >> data on right through with kids. dr. walensky: thank you for those questions. we are actively following vaccine effectiveness in our adolescence age 12 and up where we have more data and we will the updating our data on vaccine effectiveness later this week. in the meantime, we are actively following data on our five to 11-year-olds. we need some time for them to get their first dose and second dose in order to follow breaker cases, what we are actively collecting those data. >> there is strong data that

. >> first question, erica at nbc. >> i wanted to go back to the number of kids age five to 11 who have been vaccinated. where did those numbers come from? what was the source and is the cdc confirming those numbers? jeffrey: the program for kids age five to 11 is a new program with new sites and specialized doses being shipped out to those sites. many of the places that adults go to get vaccinated are not the right places for kids age five to 11. children's hospitals, pediatricians, family doctors. many of these are new locations and therefore it takes time for them to come online to begin to give doses. to estimate how many children have received a shot, we collected data directly from vaccine partners including the pharmacies and state and local health officials. we ran an analysis of those numbers including numbers that states are beginning to share publicly. based on the analysis and the gathering of the data points, we estimate conservatively that at least 900,000 children age five to 11 have received at least the first dose. our goal is to vaccinate as many kids as possible. this

. >> shannon, nbc. reporter: hi. thanks for taking my question. i wanted to follow up on the timeline question one of my colleagues asked a moment ago. i understand the pharmaceutical companies say it would take several months for them to come up with a new vaccine, if that worst case scenario occurs. under this scenario where people would need to get another booster, another vaccine, what does the timeline look like for how long it would take to have enough doses to revaccinate the 300 million some americans who are already vaccinated? what's some of your planning for how that would work, how that worst case scenario would work. jeff: the few months estimate i discussed not only includes the prototype, the f.d.a., and c.d.c., authorization and recommendation, but also time to manufacture enough doses for the american public. that's an estimate. we are planning in that scenario not only for supporting the manufacturers through that process, if needed, but also for how would we rapidly get shots in arms. we know how to do that given the insurance w

>> relative to the amount of stores and market share that we have, it's higher, but -- >> so nbc news was wrong when they said that? >> i can only speak to what i see every day on the ground, senator, and i follow these criminals day to day from state to state and city to city. >> so cvs would support other jurisdictions legalizing shoplifting up to $950? >> cvs does not support shoplifting. >> why not? >> we're not going to endorse criminal activity. >> but you're saying it had no effect. >> i never said it had no effect. >> you said there was not more shoplifting in san francisco. >> that doesn't have an effect, sir. >> does have an effect or not? >> of course it does. the fact that shoplifting is different from retail crime. if you're talking about shoplifting, it's different than retail crime. >> what's the effect? you guys have the data. >> i'm not sure i understand your question, senator. do we take offense to shoplifting? >> and are there position to see legalize shoplifting? your answer is not making sense, sir. zy. >> i respectfully disagree. >> so why would you oppose every

the nbc new york station has a story about what is going on there. new york governor kathy hochul has declared a state of emergency ahead of potential covid-19 spikes this winter due to the already circulating delta and newly identified omicron variants of coronavirus. the declaration, which goes into effect december 3, will allow the state to require pandemic fighting supplies, increased hospital capacity, and potential staffing shortages. it would also allow the state health department to limit non-essential and non-urgent procedures at hospitals. we continue to see warning signs of spikes this upcoming winter and while the new omicron variant has yet to be detected in new york it is coming, she says. the move comes hours after the governor said her office was closely monitoring the variant which was first sequenced in south africa earlier this week. the variant contains around 50 concerning the presentation's from the original -- concerning mutations from the original virus, including 10 to the spike protein that allows the virus to access human c

when asked in the newly released nbc poll which party would do a better job of handling the issues that are most important to american families, republicans way the issue by issue by double digits. order security, republicans lead democrats by 27 points. on inflation, republicans lead by 24 points. on crime, republicans lead democrats by 20 two points. on national security, republicans lead democrats by 21 points. on economy, republicans lead democrats by 18 point. when asked which party is most effective on getting things done, that had republicans leading democrats by 13 points. host: what is your reaction to what congresswoman stefanik had to say? guest: it is interesting she talks about the president of the united states who has been in office for eight months. in addition to that when you say get things done, if you ask another question of the american public, the things republicans get done -- especially under the trump administration, he may have got them done but hasn't had the best impact on our country? i am so excited about the bill -- we will have the opportunity to vote on

a recent nbc poll said republicans were ranked plus 13 on getting things done when compared to democrats because democrats reject what you're doing. they don't see that as getting things done. chairman scott and i have worked together on bipartisan issues. i've worked with lots of members here on bipartisan issues, real issues confronting americans and where we can share conservative solutions that the people want. that's how the congress should be spending its time. however, if the majority insists on moving forward in this hearing on the far left agenda it'll confirm what the american people already suspect. the current majority is abdicating its responsibility to the american people and operating on borrowed time. mr. chairman, i think you should adjourn this hearing, go back to the drawing board for an agenda focused on american solutions, not socialist schemes. if you want let's go ahead and get this charade over with. i yield back. >> well, thank you very much, dr. fox. i really do miss you. not your views but your succinctness. so i appreciate you being here. and a number of -- le

we had cbs, nbc. anybody could rebut his statement we need to apply this not to social media because they are opinions, sean hannity, rachel maddow, anderson cooper, those are not news. those are opinions. they should have both print before the show starts. this is an opinion of the moderator. that would stop this propaganda cold. why was it gotten rid of? host: the fairness doctrine did deal with opinions on broadcast networks. guest: it was specifically for broadcast networks. the information landscape is so vast and broad. aside from other reasons why it may not be the best path forward , it would be almost impossible to implement because there are so many different platforms and the media organizations would run into issues about how they would present the so-called other side. there are a bunch of reasons why the fairness doctrine would be difficult. there are remedies such as greater transparency and leadership of news organizations who put public interest before anything else. host: our guest h

and yet an nbc correspondent the dirty little secret that america caps can pay more because they saved money when they were trapped in their homes during the covid pandemic. because more than half of americans are invested in the stock market and doing well, most people are better off. how out of touch. she has zero regard for the people who don't have a stock portfolio. good luck trying to eat your 401k. tax penalties for early withdrawals are harsh. she knows that but so be holden to the left but providing free cover. writers are telling us we should lower our expectations and live more like europeans and getting used to the empty store shelves. american families are suffering. recent elections have shown that americans reject these attempts to change our nation from a prosperous country to a suffering regime. intrusive regulations and overreaching policies have lowered. and most prosperous country in the world, we are blessed to pursue economic prosperity during difficult times. many of the economic challenges faced by american families were created by a liberal ruling class and we
